WOW! H1N1 still took us by surprise!

All the best laid plans are for naught if nobody knows what they are. There were notices sent out about proper procedures for influenza outbreaks and about who would do what, etc. but many folks just didn’t have time to read all that stuff. In Job Corps, our priority is students not reading our messages. Although ultimately, reading this information would have helped students in the long run, many of us were thinking about the here and now and not down the road. As it is, things went fairly smooth after we realized we had to follow this protocol. Much of it appeared back in our inboxes as things started getting hot and with 20-30 students down, we had more time to read them. Any comments about this? Also, What do you think about the union (NFFE) allowing only managers to come into contact with students? This was a shock to me as I had just come off a shift in which I helped the nurse take 25 temperatures twice through the night when I heard.
